I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover...

my husband told me the other day that he's never found a four-leaf clover. i thought that was interesting. i've found several throughout my life. i don't think that they are as uncommon as people think. whenever i see a patch of clover i search for a four-leaf one. usually i don't find any, but sometimes i get lucky. so, why would derek never have found one? i think he doesn't take the time to look like an idiot and search the ground. of course, i have no problem looking like an idiot. i do that on a constant basis. i would love to somehow have a way to preserve a four-leaf clover so that i could put in on display. hmm, it's starting to seem like i'm obsessed with clovers. must be the irish in me. i'm a quarter irish. we're something called orange irish. so i'm supposed to wear orange and green on st patrick's day. unfortunately i don't have anything orange or green to wear. literally. if you were to look in my closet you would find white, pink, purple, red, blue, and very little black. my favorite colors to wear are pink, red, and purple, not necessarily in that order. i really need to figure out what i'm gonna do for st patrick's day. i always feel so guilty when i don't wear green, or at least some kind of pin that says "i'm irish". of course i probably won't go anywhere this year, so i guess it doesn't really matter. we'll probably just stay home and watch "darby o'gill and the little people". i think that's the only "irish" movie i have. i do have another movie, "the happiest millionaire", which predominantly features two irish people. they sing and dance a lot. one guy talks about the good fortune he's having now that he's come to america. the lady dances a dance that she and her father used to dance. if you haven't seen either movie you should definately check them out. anyway, hurray for being irish! hurray for four-leaf clovers! hurray for holidays!
